Padres send two prospects to Giants for Robbie Ray

Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Player Stats

Padres acquired LHP Robbie Ray and cash considerations from the Giants for RHP Miguel Mendez and INF Joniel Hernandez.

According to The Athletic’s Dennis Lin, the Giants are paying about half of the $9 milllion or so Ray is owed, including a portion of his $1 million trade bonus. Ray will join Michael King and Walker Buehler in a Padres rotation that could get Nick Pivetta and/or Joe Musgrove back at the end of the month. Another bat would be nice, but the chances of a late run are looking up. Ray, 34, had a 3.08 ERA in 122 2/3 innings for the Giants. He’s at 1.09 while focusing on his sinker in his last seven starts.

Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray allowed five runs in 2 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday.

Ray gave up five hits, walked four and struck out one. He fell to 11-8 with the loss. Ray had completed at least five innings with two runs allowed or less in his last three starts entering play Saturday. He has a 3.39 ERA despite a 4.89 xFIP this year. Ray is lined up to face his former team the Giants on the road next weekend.
Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray received a no-decision in Sunday’s quality start against the Rays, allowing one earned run on three hits over six innings pitched.

Ray struck out four and walked three. He was in line for the victory until Mason Miller gave up a two-run homer in the ninth. The fly ball was in Samad Taylor’s glove before it went over the wall. The lone run Ray surrendered was a solo homer from Junior Caminero. The veteran lefty was acquired from the Giants at this summer’s trade deadline, and he’s now allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts with the Padres. He’s scheduled to face the Yankees at home next time out.
Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings Monday versus the Pirates.

Both runs came in the sixth. Esmerlyn Valdez led off the inning with a homer. Ray then walked Bryan Reynolds and struck out Oneil Cruz before being pulled in favor of Bradgley Rodriguez, who surrendered a go-ahead double to score the inherited runner. Ray struck out five and allowed just two hard-hit balls other than the homer. He’ll likely face the Rays on Sunday.
Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray pitched six innings and allowed one run to pick up a win over the Mets on Tuesday.

Well, it’s definitely an improved outing from Ray, but that’s mostly because Fernando Tatis Jr. made a jumping catch to take away a grand slam from Francisco Lindor in the second. As a result, Ray collected hit first win in three starts for the Padres. He issued three more walks tonight, bringing his total to 11 in 15 innings for his new team. Those that stuck with him were rewarded, but the outing doesn’t make him look like any better of a bet for the future. He’ll start at home against the Pirates next time out.
Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray allowed two runs over four innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Brewers.

Ray’s first two starts with the Padres have seen him increase his changeup usage at the expense of his curve and sinker. It’s not working out so far, but that might be primarily because of how wild he’s been; he’s allowed six runs and walked eight over nine innings for his new team. It’s worth sticking with him for his start against the Mets next week, but he might be droppable in shallow leagues if he doesn’t show some improvement then.
Robbie Ray

SD Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray struggled in his Padres debut, surrendering four runs in five innings in a loss to the Astros.

Ray allowed seven hits and walked five with just a 16 percent CSW, so this really could have been worse. And it was still better than Casey Mize’s debut, so he has that going for him. Ray will face the Brewers next on Wednesday.
Casey Mize

SD Starting Pitcher

Casey Mize will make his Padres debut on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

San Diego manager Craig Stammen added that Robbie Ray will make his debut against the Astros on Friday. Mize was a last-minute addition at the trade deadline after posting a strong 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 85/19 K/BB ratio across 86 2/3 innings for the Tigers. He’s been battling some lingering groin issues throughout the year, but he’s ready to roll this week after heading out west.
Robbie Ray

SF Starting Pitcher #38

The Padres are near a deal to acquire Robbie Ray from the Giants, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

RHP Miguel Mendez and shortstop Joniel Hernandez make up the return for the Giants. Ray will join a Padres rotation that’s pretty much just Michael King and some swingmen at the moment. He has a 3.08 ERA this season as he closes out a five-year, $115 million deal he originally signed with the Mariners.
Robbie Ray

SF Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray earned his 10th win by limiting the Padres to one run in six innings on Thursday.

Ray’s likely final start for the Giants was a very good one, as he struck out six and walked one while allowing only three singles and a double. He’s now 6-0 with a 1.09 ERA in his last eight starts. His 41/21 K/BB in 49 1/3 innings during the stretch isn’t nearly as impressive, but with the way his groundball rate has ticked up, he should be pretty attractive to contenders.
Robbie Ray

SF Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray tossed six shutout innings with five strikeouts in a win over the Angels on Saturday.

Ray was brilliant against the Angels on Saturday, holding them scoreless over six innings on his way to a win. He scattered six hits and two walks, tossing 54 of 80 pitches for strikes to collect five strikeouts. It was an excellent showcase for the 34-year-old left-hander, who could find himself on the move by the August 3 trade deadline. He’ll take a 3.16 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 101/56 K/BB ratio across 116 2/3 innings into a start against the Padres in San Diego on Thursday.
